“I will have to imagine Salman and Aishwarya first playing these roles and then I have to think of Ranveer and Deepika upstaging it. It is complicated ... I think no one is better than Ranveer and Deepika as Bajirao and Mastani,” Priyanka told reporters here when asked if Ranveer and Deepika can upstage the chemistry that Salman and Aishwarya could have created.

When asked about the allegations by descendant of Bajirao Peshwa I that historical facts have been “altered” while portraying the Maratha king and his wives Kashibai and Mastani in the film, Ranveer said, “I am an actor my job is to act. The producers will answer it.”

The actors were speaking at a promotional event of Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed Bajirao Mastani which releases on December 18.
